متن يادداشت

This dissertation re-visions and reimagines the concept of kuṇḍalinī and kuṇḍalinī awakening as personal paradigm shift: an embodied experience of bodied-spiritedness dancing with consciousness-awareness. Read in this way, kuṇḍalinī is a site of entanglement between the material and the transcendent, and the praxis of paradox. Kuṇḍalinī is defined here using its historical construction from nondual Śaiva Tantra and is the "innate intelligence of embodied Consciousness" (Wallis, 2017, p. 14). In addition to reframing the concept of kuṇḍalinī, this dissertation focuses on a number of other research objectives. These are, first, to develop a working understanding of kuṇḍalinī in its historical context; second, to deconstruct historical definitions of kuṇḍalinī via a critical ecofeminist lens; third, to reframe the concept of kuṇḍalinī from an ecofeminist standpoint; and finally, to expand the definition of kuṇḍalinī in the current literature via an explication of Somadelics, a heart-centered and contemporary Tantra. The methodological approach used for this dissertation is a hermeneutic engagement with the texts, one that draws from several different styles of hermeneutics and is also my own approach to understanding and knowing. The dissertation introduces the history of the problem, posits different levels of significance, and goes on to review the literature pertinent to kuṇḍalinī in nondual Śaiva Tantra. Second, it offers a breakdown of the hermeneutic method used in the research process. Third, it offers a brief outline of pertinent concepts of nondual Śaiva Tantra, exploring concepts of kuṇḍalinī and kuṇḍalinī awakening before deconstructing these conceptualizations through an ecofeminist lens. Fifth, it offers a reimagining of kuṇḍalinī as well as my personal synthesis of Somadelics, a contemporary understanding of a heart-centered Tantra. Sixth, it explores of the implications of said reframe and compares the similarities and differences between a kuṇḍalinī awakening in Tantra and the Mazatec use of psilocybin. Finally, it concludes with potential directions for further research.
